"If Air 21 ends up dealing with BGK for the former's 2013 first round pick, who do you think will Franz Pumaren get for his team? Note that the Express needs help in all fronts so anyone is possible. Anyone who has proven himself already in the PBA.

My best guesses are Willy Wilson and Allein Maliksi. Wilson used to play for Pumaren in DLSU before while Maliksi is a young stud who can become the Express' top offensive option. Remember, Lito Alvarez is in a position to drive home a very strong bargaining chip - he's got a potential ace in his first round pick which may turn out to be the most important big man of this decade - Greg Slaughter. So he won't settle for crumbs - check that, he should not settle for crumbs. Otherwise, he can just look for other options that may be better in Pumaren's eyes"
